Abstract

In continuation of recent collecting activities in the Georgian SSR a further mission has been carried out jointly by staff members of the Institute of Botany Tbilissi and the Central Institute for Genetics and Cultivated Plant Research, Gatersleben, in September 1988 for exploration and collecting plant genetic resources. The travel route covered in this year Kachetia (Eastern Georgia), including the Civi-Gomborskij range of Great Caucasus and the foothills of the main ridge bordering the Alazani and Iori river valleys. 318 samples, mainly of grain legumes, vegetables, spice plants and maize could be collected. The material represents variable land-races and indigenous taxa of cultivated plants from this area, which have been listed and characterized shortly for some examples.
